The SEC led the final 2025 yards top 25 with five players, followed by the ACC with four, the Big Ten with four, the American with three, the Big 12 with three, the CUSA with two, the Mountain West with one, the Pac-12 with one and the Sun Belt with one; one plays for an independent.

A blank in the INT column means the passer threw too few interceptions to appear on that board, not that the figure is missing. Season totals across every team in the network. The # column is the yards rank (ties share a rank); click any column to sort. A "–" means the player isn't in that stat's top 25. Player and team names link to their site where we run one. Teams you’ve pinned on the scoreboard are highlighted.
